Validation dataset for single subject DLC

Image Analysis
#1

Dear all,

I know how to set the ratio between training and test data in the config file with TrainingFraction. I would like to know if a validation data set is generated for the training as well, and if so, what ratio is used and if I can set it myself?
Maybe someone can help me or point me in the right direction where I can find this information.

Thank you very much
Rieke

We don’t have a validation set, as the typical datasets are very small (unlike for big benchmarks); if you want to tune hyperparameters, I suggest looking at this: https://github.com/DeepLabCut/DeepLabCut/wiki/What-neural-network-should-I-use%3F#how-can-i-compare-them
